I feel like winters in my childhood were colder and snowier, which I loved, but as I get older I am preferring these warmer days.

I hate it. Grew up playing hockey and going to Vermont to snowboard so I loved the cold. My kids love the snow and the lack of snow this year is upsetting. Someone here on Reddit said nj has 4 seasons 6 times a year.

Reply to Arriving into Newark Airport late with 7 year old twins. Hotel advice… by Westham2830

Stay near the airport, head out in the morning. Depending on how much time you have- On the way I would consider a stop at Sandy Hook (though it’s a little out of the way), beach towns along the way like Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, Point Pleasant has a small aquarium and boardwalk, then further south Wildwood for a classic NJ boardwalk, and Cape May Zoo is a fun day with kids. There’s no way to do all of that in a day but it will give you some ideas to look into. It will be a shorter drive if you fly into Philadelphia, but that’s a whole different drive.

If it were a one off thing, I wouldn't think much of it, but over the last year I've had around 10 rides from terminals to the Marriott, and everyone said they called after waiting for a while.

I've also seen some people trying to cross Hotel Rd. to get to it after walking thru the terminal B lot. Wouldn't recommend trying that now, as it's a lot busier since the new terminal A dumps out onto it.
